Is there anything else that could do this.. im sure i ahve come accros a plugin from nicola??

i also tried Mspecht one in <?php ?> but it didnt work either??

There’s a member access plugin here, but it has no settings for the members and groups sections in Buddypress.

This plugin only works for “pages”.

Is there a way to extend one of these plugins?

That is exactly what usermeta is for. You should take a look at the WordPress codex for this sort of thing, it will help you a great deal.

I assume you’re using the Recent Comments widget. That is a WPMU widget and not specifically a BuddyPress Widget.

You have three options:

• Search the WordPress plugin repository to see if someone has created a plugin to do just that
• Search the forums on the WPMU site for an answer. If you don’t find one, then post a question.
• Hack WPMU’s widgets.php file yourself to provide the necessary functionality

SVN aka Subversion is a program that is installed on your host so that you can install programs that have their code repositories online easily. Any program (terminal on mac, putty on windows) can connect to your server through SSH. I don\’t know of anyway of installing SVN versions without SSH.

For example, if you have an install like /var/www/html/ for an install, and wanted WPMU as the root domain in that folder, you would do something like the following:

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7/ /var/www/html/

then if you wanted to install buddypress from SVN into your WPMU install:

svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

That just installs everything in the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder like the latest SVN requires. It doesn\’t mean you are finished. You still have to read the README file about the specifics, especially copying the themes to the correct locations. Reason I say this is because at this point, it would be like having all files including the buddypress themes in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ which obviously isn’t complete. Imagine at this point you downloaded BP and just uploaded the entire thing to that location. It is a matter of copying around the themes to where they are supposed to be.

This is just not the way that WordPress MU works. Buddypress is a plugin for WordPress MU and therefore uses the standard functions that WPMU provides to store and retrieve custom database information.

It’s that exact .jpg above as to why I even got interested in buddypress in the first place. It looked very similar to another program I use, only cleaner.

Needless to say I was more than a little dismayed to find out it is not included in buddypress. I sure wish I knew what happened to that file as I would have loved to use it for my ‘basic’ members. I could then provide ‘real’ themes for premium members.

Another nice aspect to that layout is it’s hard to mess up or not understand for a newbie wordpress user.

Add me to the list of those that really wish it would be released, especially since that theme is now depreciated compared to the new theme on this site.

I only want real full names in my site. I want to eliminate the anonymous \”username\” as much as possible.

This excellent plugin makes it possible to login with just email address and password, but you still get that stupid username in activation emails etc. At the moment I\’m struggling to find out how to replace it.

Just my 2 cents. Please don’t make Buddypress entirely username centric. They’re childish…

I guess I need the exact opposite. I only want full real names in the site, if possible entered as seperate first name + last name at sign-up.

I just reinstallend WordPress MU+Buddypress and now when I sign up test users, only the user_login gets copied to the display_name field in wp_users.

How can I force it to put the real full name in display_name?

and @apeatling of https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg

is there a downloadable way to do what you guys have done and make it the default for user blogs (no user set up required, just automatic)?

Can you guys make your user templates available to the BuddyPress community?

Best,

You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.

Is there any way tho, that I dont know if it will help with what he is asking but, to use a wordpress MU and Buddypress….aka set up buddypress on a different directory…and still be able to integrate it with the normal wordpress? What I mean is…SO that when people use their budypress accoutns, they can comment on a post from the normal wordpress and it will appear in their activity?

It is possible, to integrate bbPress + WordPress (MU), i did it my self already

And take a look @ Burtadsit .. You still need WPMU for right now, to run BuddyPress …

Alright I tried to fix it but I couldnt….Anyway, the skeleton thing is not working, I try to go to it and it just doesnt show the complete template…Do i have to add both files? Or with one is it good enough? check out what I mean:

http://positiboricua.com/wordpress-mu/members/admin/

visit wpmu site and google. All the answers are there.

simply use wpmu…

If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.

Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.

That is an old url, due to WordPress naming policies he had to change his domain name, the correct link should now be:

http://bp-dev.org/groups/chat-plug-in

Looks like there was no progress made.

For my site I have just inserted a simple java client for freenode IRC. This allows site members to either use the chat online or with their favorite irc client.

Version 1.1. should appear shortly on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/. In addition to working with the latest BuddyPress, it also lets you specify more than one person/group as the default friends/groups.
